Notas
- Its ability to clear Heat and resolve toxicity makes it useful for stubborn high fevers that give rise to internal Wind.
- It plays a key role in settling Liver Yang and addressing acute febrile conditions marked by hard swellings.
- Compared with Cornu Rhinoceri Xi Jiao, this herb clears Heat and resolves toxicity less powerfully, yet it surpasses Xi Jiao in easing spasm and extinguishing Wind. The pair — the “two horns” — are frequently combined for severe high-fever coma with convulsion, and this herb can stand in for Xi Jiao when needed.
- It has additionally been applied to dysentery, erysipelas, postpartum infection and depression, and long-term use was reputed to build strength in the bones and muscles and enhance male potency.
- Goat Horn, Cornu Naemorhedis Shan Yang Jiao, shares a salty, cold nature and an affinity for the Liver channel with this herb, though its action is milder. It settles the Liver and addresses Liver Fire or Liver Yang Rising, and can replace this herb at a dose of 9-15 gm — paired with Ram. Uncariae cum Uncis Gou Teng, Rz. Gastrodiae Tian Ma, Concha Haliotidis Shi Jue Ming, and Rz. Paridis Chong Lou for Liver Yang Rising; with Rx. Gentianae Long Dan Cao and Rz. Coptidis Huang Lian for high fever with tremor and convulsion; and with Flos Chrysanthemi Ju Hua, Fol. Mori Sang Ye and Sp. Prunellae Xia Ku Cao for red, painful eyes from Liver Yang Rising. It needs half an hour of separate simmering before it joins the decoction.
- This herb and Ram. cum Uncis Uncariae Gou Teng both settle the Liver, extinguish Liver Wind, clear Heat and control convulsion, and are commonly paired for tremor and convulsion from high fever or Liver-channel Heat with Liver Yang Rising producing headache, dizziness and red eyes. This herb excels at entering the Blood level to clear Heat and resolve toxicity when rashes or measles sink inward, whereas Gou Teng acts at the Qi level, clearing and draining Heat for Wind-Heat patterns such as headache, red eyes, or spots and rashes that fail to surface.
- Ling Yang Jiao and Carapax Eretmochelydis Dai Mao alike settle the Liver, extinguish Wind, clear Heat and resolve toxicity, treating Wind from extreme Heat with spasm, convulsion and seizure, as well as maculae and rashes of febrile disease. Ling Yang Jiao is centered on the Liver channel with a strong Wind-extinguishing action and can also brighten the eyes, while Dai Mao is centered on the Heart, opening the orifices and calming the Spirit while settling jitteriness, anxiety and clouded consciousness, and also nourishing Liver and Kidney to anchor Yang.
